“Bad Brains” by Bad Brains LP (1982)
It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …
“Amanda”
“Amada”
Performer: Boston
Since listening to Boston’s “More Than A Feeling”, I have been on the prowl to find more of their music and I came across (what appears to be a power ballad) “Amanda”. The song “Amanda” is the first song off of their third album, “Third Stage”.
Again, I’ll confess …
Journey to the Past (1997): Aaliyah
Aaliyah
“Journey To The Past”
“Anastasia” Original Soundtrack

Ah, I’m not so quite sure what they were thinking when they made this video. Don’t get me wrong, Aaliyah does what she does best, it’s just this video that is not ‘at its best’. Is it me or do all music videos …
MGMT - Electric Feel (Song)
MGMT is a band that I’ve just started to listen to, and the first song which really got me hooked on them would have to be Electric Feel. Coming from their first record, Oracular Spectacular, Electric Feel is certainly a track to be an accurate representation of that album …

Iron Maiden - Charlotte The Harlot (Song)

Gorillaz, 2001 Album by Gorillaz
I have read that this album has sold over ten million records worldwide. There must have been many reasons for that, but I would go so far as to claim that the music proper was not the biggest reason for this album’s commercial success.
I was about twelve when I …

Heathen Chemistry, 2002 Album by Oasis

Garbage, 1995 album by Garbage
This album catapulted the band to worldwide fame, but I personally do not find the album all the strong. I think that this album has a very deep discrepancy between the different songs on it. Some of the songs are impressive and deserved to become the hits that they …
